Chapter 268: Taking Xiao Lingling to the beach, Xu Hongmi’s reflections.

"Sister Fan, Sister Fan, what are you thinking about? You ignore me when I talk to you?" Qiu Yingying pushed Fan Shengmei and asked.

"Ah, what did you just say, Yingying?" Fan Shengmei came back to her senses.

"I heard from the decorator that there is good news. The decorator said that the decoration of 2201 will be completed tomorrow, and 2203 will take three days at most, so we should be able to sleep in next weekend." Qiu Yingying said excitedly.

"Really? Have you heard about the owner? Is he tall, rich and handsome?" Fan Shengmei immediately became excited. After all, this house is worth several million. If she could have a neighbor, she would be the first to get the moon. Her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Qiu Yingying touched her nose embarrassedly, "I didn't ask this?"

Fan Shengmei shook her head. There was no need to rush. The result would be clear in a few days. Thinking about the characteristics of the two girls, she decided not to talk about her love views for now. Instead, she reminded them in another way, "Guan Guan Yingying, let me tell you, dating and getting married are two completely different things. Dating is all about being attracted to each other."

"But getting married requires a lot of considerations. After all, we live in the real world. So if you haven't decided on a man to be your significant other, there are some things you should be careful about. After all, you can fall in love many times in your life, but you can only be chaste once."

Guan Juer felt a little embarrassed when being looked at by Fan Shengmei. Sister Fan was deliberately choosing her, but Sister Fan had no idea of ​​the situation. Brother Chen treated her as a sister, and she took the initiative to give him opportunities, but Brother Chen turned a blind eye. If she followed Sister Fan's theory and waited passively, she would probably wait in vain.

During the meal, Chen An and Xiao Lingdang repeatedly rejected Xu Hongmi's proposals, such as the oceanarium, science and technology museum, zoo, and children's amusement park. Finally, with Chen An's suggestion and Xiao Lingdang's support, Xu Hongmi had no choice but to agree.

The afternoon sun shines on the boundless sea, and the waves sparkle like thousands of pieces of gold dancing. As an international metropolis, Shanghai has a large population, and the surrounding seaside weekends have become the first choice for many families to play.

Chen An did not go to the beach too far away, but just chose a place with relatively fewer people.

Although the water here is not as clear as that in Sanya, it is like a huge sapphire and has its own unique flavor. Under the gentle caress of the breeze, it gently hits the fine beach. Every step you take, you can feel the soft and warm touch, as if it is a gentle hug given by the earth.

Chen An was holding a small bucket with two iron sieves, one large and one small, in his hand. Xu Hongmi and the excited Xiao Lingling were following closely behind him.

This was not the first time that Xiao Lingling came to the beach, but every time she came, she just looked at the scenery. As for taking a walk on the beach, that was basically impossible, not to mention the waves that came from time to time, soaking her little feet. The cool feeling was particularly comfortable. Her little feet left a string of tiny footprints on the beach.

"Mom, please walk faster..." Little Lingling anxiously pulled Xu Hongmi's hand, her little face full of impatience, wanting to reach the destination quickly.

Xu Hongmi wore a sun hat with a helpless smile on her face. She hadn't enjoyed this feeling for a long time.

"Okay, let's just play here, Bell."

"Okay, uncle-in-law, but how should we catch it?" Little Lingling looked at the surrounding beach and did not find the target that her uncle-in-law mentioned. She blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, her eyes full of anticipation.

Chen An took out two sieves and handed the smaller one to Xiao Lingdang. He smiled and said, "Look, Lingdang, I'll teach you. It's actually very simple."

"Yeah, yeah..." Little Bell nodded repeatedly, looking very serious.

Chen An quickly chose a place, reached down with a sieve, scooped up a large piece of mud and sand, walked two meters towards the sea, saw the waves coming, and smiled, "Watch, that's all." As he spoke, Chen An rinsed the mud and sand in the sea water. As the mud and sand were carried away, what remained were a dozen shellfish of different colors and sizes.

"Wow, uncle-in-law, you are so amazing. This is so beautiful. It is actually..."

“This is pink…”

"Mom, look, the pink one is so beautiful..." Little Bell shouted excitedly.

Xu Hongmi looked at the two of them, with a bit of worry and hesitation on her beautiful face, "Xiao Chen, be careful and don't let Lingling play too crazy." Her brows were slightly frowned.

"Don't worry, Sister Hongmi." Chen An responded with a smile.

Little Lingdang ignored her mother's instructions and followed Chen An's example. She headed for the beach, scooped up a handful of sand, giggled, and before the waves came over, she couldn't wait to search with her hands.

Seeing this, Xu Hongmi was about to speak out to stop it, but when she saw Xiao Lingling's extremely happy smile, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Chen An patiently taught Xiao Lingdang twice, and dug a small hole to store water for the little girl's convenience. After two attempts, Xiao Lingdang finally dug the first shell and excitedly showed it off to Xu Hongmi.

Xu Hongmi took the initiative to step forward, carrying a small bucket and put the spoils into it.

Two people, one big and one small, started digging on the beach. After a while, Chen An dug out a shell with a strange shape. "Little Bell, look!"

Little Bell ran over quickly, eyes wide open, "Wow, so beautiful!"

Chen An handed the shell to Xiao Lingling. Xiao Lingling took it carefully, held it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully. A bright smile bloomed on her face, and that smile was as bright as a blooming flower.

Xiao Lingdang felt that the place chosen by her uncle-in-law seemed better, so she occupied it without making a fuss.

Chen An couldn't help but laugh. This little girl is quite clever. As expected, hard work pays off. Little Lingling dug seriously and had a good harvest. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but she didn't care at all and was still concentrating on finding shells.

Seeing her daughter so devoted and happy, Xu Hongmi's worries gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.

She stood quietly by the side, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a gentle light in her eyes, that look seemed to be able to melt everything.

"Mom, look at this blue one, it's so beautiful..." Little Lingling excitedly showed her work to Xu Hongmi.

Xu Hongmi walked over, squatted down, gently wiped the sweat off Xiao Lingling's forehead, and said in a gentle voice, "Baby is great!"

Chen An caught a small crab. Xiao Lingling ran over excitedly and wanted to reach out to touch the crab, but was stopped by Xu Hongmi.

"Don't touch it, be careful it might pinch your hand." Xu Hongmi said nervously, her face full of concern.

Chen An smiled and said, "It's okay, Sister Hongmi, I'll teach Xiao Lingdang how to catch it."

Chen An held Xiao Lingdang's hand and gently placed it on the crab's back. "Xiao Lingdang, just touch it gently. It won't pinch you."

Xiao Lingling touched the little crab and laughed happily. She looked at Xu Hongmi and asked carefully, "Mom, this, this, can I keep it?" Her eyes were full of anticipation and caution.

"Lingling, this one can't be kept alive. The sea is its home. If you take it away, its mother won't be able to find it..." Xu Hongmi explained patiently.

"Oh, okay then, how about Mom's shell?" Little Bell asked expectantly.

Xu Hongmi nodded. "Of course that's fine."

Lingling was very excited and became more motivated to dig shells.

Xu Hongmi thought about her daughter's careful look just now, and her happiness when she agreed afterwards, and couldn't help but reflect on whether she had been too strict with her daughter in the past two years?

I shouldn't pass on the stress of family work to my children. It seems that happiness is the most important thing for children of this age. Otherwise, why should I work so hard?
